I definitely see your point, and this might be a topic in itself, but are there hosts that people would turn the channel to watch? Groucho Marx. Maybe Dawson. Maybe Barker, now that archeologists are paying attention.
Or was Forsythe so unusual that even, say, a neutral kind of guy like Jim Perry could have helped?
